    Sony really outdid themselves with the PS5! This console feels so next gen and just runs at the speed of light at anything you throw at it. Not only are the graphics amazing, but the controller is truly next level. I can't even explain it in words except imagine how an iPhone vibrates, but throw it in a controller and amplify 4x with other human detecting senses and you have the DualSense. This is the console to have for next gen. Can't wait for the games to start rolling out.

    A lucky purchase that came from staying up till 4am and checking the Best Buy site out of the blue. It’s the PS5. Watch a YouTube video if you want the specifics. All I have to say is that it definitely feels next gen with the haptic controller and fast load times. Can’t wait for new games! If you don’t have one yet, please don’t stress and buy from scalpers! I think the game line up is great but if you wait, the games will most likely go down in price (from the whopping 70 bucks).

    Graphics and Loading times are amazing. The incredibly fast loading times alone is a great reason to buy. The dual sense controller is a great improvement over the old dual shock, initially it felt a bit too big but after a month of playing with it I got accustomed to the size which is something you should definitely keep in mind when buying this for younger kids. So much more can be written but I don't want to make this review too long. Overall a 10/10

    What can I say, but flawless... Was some work to get one.. Setup was easy and fast.. Using the app makes it nice.. I have a QLED Series 80R and it really show this unit off!.. Loading a game disc for the first time (copying) is the only thing so far that is not so fast. Once game is loaded.. FAST.. You can have the PS5 in a vertical or horizontal position. The Controller *** AWESOME *** !!! Now just bring out the Rachet & Clank game out!!!! Purchased Spiderman & Demon Souls

    I was able to pick up my PS5 on my birthday after countless days of trying to receive one. It was simple and similar to set up like the prior one before (PS4). The graphics with the disk games from PS4 shows major improvements, and the gameplay feels good also. The ease of the controller and extra features it has like the built in mic are amazing. I’m looking forward to the PS5 games in the near future to really get the full on experience with this amazing console.

    Not many current-gen games but still a Win

    Although there are not many PS5 exclusive games at the moment, the benefits of storage speed, Upgraded Graphics (for some games), and the new Controller makes this Console a must-have for any Playstation fan. The only downside is that I had to replace my previous Headset (AstroA50) since these Consoles don't include an Optical Audio port so Audiophile gamers please do your research Menus and overall gaming experience really feel like an Upgrade from last generation

    Next gen gaming has arrived. This system will not do you wrong. You can instantly tell a difference, even to the most least tech savvy person how the graphics are enhanced to give a better gaming experience. To sum it up this is a great system to buy once you get your hands on it, load times are great, graphics are great, the revamp of the ps interface is great as well. It may take a while to get your hands on one but when you do you’re efforts will not be in vain.

    What can I say the graphics a definitely are an upgrade from the PS4. The controller feels great in my hands, the new triggers feed back is amazing when playing shooters. Play the included game to get us to the new controls. The system is the size of a small to midsize PC. Setup was very easy to do if you owned a PS4 and have the PlayStation app to sign into your account. You also can install a game when your setting up the console so you can start playing right away.

    The PS5 Digital is edition is excellent for those not wanting to deal with discs and physical copies laying about. While the space is currently limited as of this review in March 2021, in a few weeks we will be receiving an update to expand the storage and fully unlocking the storage limits. This is a full PS5, nothing at the half mark and just lacking a disc drive. Excellent games out now, and excellent games to come in the future, you can't go wrong with PS5

    Transformative Console

    Incredible console - I think its best days are ahead since the only game I've played is AC Valhalla and it's been buggy. Astro's Playroom (included for free) brilliantly shows off the capabilities of the DualSense controller. Load times are insanely quick and the system is whisper quiet. It doesn't fit in any of my shelves so I placed it adjacent to them, using the stand provided. Definitely a transformative gaming experience and worth the many attempts at purchasing.

    Great system, have been grinding out Demon Souls like a mad man, i havent rage quit despite it being very difficult. Ergonomics of the new PS5 controller is great, i love the haptic feedback from it. the system itself doesnt sound like a jet engine when playing games like the ps4 and ps4 pro did. only complaint is that the color is white, i wanted a more muted color scheme, but i ended up just ordering custom plates for the consoule. def would buy again

    Great improvement when compared to my base model ps4. Graphics, speed and new controller are great. New controller definitely adds a new dimension to the games that utilize its features. Would have liked a bigger hard drive and more compact design. Overall happy with the PS5
